Dragon levels can also be increased by using gems. A confirmation message would pop up on the screen for players to double check if they would like to upgrade the dragon's level using a certain amount of gems for each level.

Primary and hybrid dragons can be leveled up to level 20, based on park level, and their dragon earning rates can be increased by using boosts. Any parks level 20 or higher can level dragons up to level 20, players lower than level 20 can level their dragons up to their current park level.

Evolution/Change in Appearance

Every time a dragon moves up a level, it grows slightly; significant changes occur at these levels:

Level 4 Juvenile: The most drastic physical change occurs when a baby dragon becomes a juvenile dragon. Its size becomes a lot larger and its entire body changes significantly.

Level 7 Adult: The appearance of the juvenile dragon slightly changes and becomes larger when it becomes an adult.

Level 11: The dragon becomes larger in size and an orb of its primary element appears above its head.

Level 20: The dragon becomes larger in size, and it receives a gold crown above its head which replaces the orb.

As of August 22, 2013, the Dragons section in the market lists any dragons the player does not have first in the list.

This applies for the viewing all of the dragons and the section it is sorted into.

As of March 27, 2014, the Dragons section would also list any limited dragons that has a market countdown timer above its card first in the list. It would be listed before the dragons, the player does not have.

On October 9, 2013, a new two-step filter system for sorting Dragons by elements was added to replace the old sorting system in the market.

When a limited Dragon is about to expire, players could go to the Market, tap Dragons and would see it listed there with a countdown timer above its card. This will tell players exactly how much time they have left to breed or buy that dragon. Once the countdown timer is over, the market time would list the dragon as "expired!" above its card.

The market countdown is also featured in the Breeding Hints menu and "Last Call" notice in the News section.

On May 30, 2014, the Market Countdown for the Emerald Dragon in the Dragons section ended one day prior to when it left the market. This resulted in the countdown displaying "expired!" when it was done counting down until it left the market on May 31, 2014.
